Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT com-pair.net>]

Spring fever, huh, James?  Going through the grumpy part of the season where 
you're itching to be out and about?  Or some other form of cabin fever?

If everyone on this list posted something we'd probably all faint but since 
it won't ever happen it is nonsensical to even put forth such an idea.

And, it's kinda like other things.  There are lists that suit folks and 
lists that don't.  There's no way you're going to make this list over to be 
like the other lists.  So one is generally given two options:  accept it 
like it is and enjoy it, or, go find one that suits one better.  Of course, 
being contrary, you will go for the mostly unused third option, grumping 
along about how it doesn't suit you and how imperfect everyone on the list 
is cause they don't post per your prerequisites.

HoHum, ~~sigh~~  Such is life <g>

Besides, homesteading is a way of life and what is going on in life is part 
of homesteading and thus you cannot seperate life from homesteading.  Voila, 
I've solved the problem.  ALL the stories are homesteading related!
